You probably didn't get an anwser before, because you don't specify
what the problem is.  If you want to get help, you need to give some
more information.  I selected your snippet:

    <lilypond relative1 verbatim>
    \key c \minor r8 c16 b c8 g as c16 b c8 d | g,4
    </lilypond>

   
and it works perfectly allright over here:

    M-| lilypond-book -f html -o html - RET

and produces a nice-looking html.
